Old Saigon, with ylang-ylang trees lining the front porch. Four drops of ylang-ylang bring sweet yellow flowers, three drops of lemon are fresh and bright, and a single drop of patchouli lays a warm, earthy base like an old brick courtyard. The scent is nostalgic and gentle, great for the living room or a reading nook in the afternoon. Put on some old songs while the diffuser runs, and the mood is complete.

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.
As it settles. Ylang ylang (rich, creamy, tropical and sweetly floral) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.
What remains. Patchouli (like damp earth and dark wood, deeply sweet) sinks in and lingers after the diffuser is off.
Lemon can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.
Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.
